Aaron was just fantastic 👏 👌 🙌🏽 😍 the ambiance is perfect! The smooth dimly lit atmosphere made room for a great drink 🍸 and the food is outstanding especially the Gumbo.....love this spot and if you're in the area please try story ville. You won't be disappointed 🥰
We made reservations for brunch, which I definitely recommend since the restaurant is so small. I ordered the biscuit waffle chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. The restaurant is a little dark, which may not be everyone's preference. The service was okay, but the server could have been a bit more attentive. We also missed the live music since they were packing up when we arrived, so next time I'll probably book an earlier reservation to catch the performance.
Such a beautiful little place with a lot of charm. The Cajun inspired food is really good, with flavors that blend together beautifully and taste fantastic in every dish. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared and full of character. The restaurant itself is very decorative and clearly on theme, which adds to the overall experience and makes it feel special. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and inviting, making it a great place to go with friends or even for a date. The dim lighting and vibe give it a more intimate feel, which may not be ideal for a first date depending on comfort level, but it definitely creates a unique and memorable setting. Overall, it is a spot that stands out, and I would highly recommend checking it out.
This is an amazing little spot that left a great impression on us. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the overall experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. Our server was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and a big part of what made the visit so memorable. The food was definitely the highlight of the meal. Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor. While the drinks were just okay, they certainly did not take away from an otherwise excellent experience. Between the great service, tasty food, and charming atmosphere, this is a place we will happily return to in the future.
Louisiana food, I like creamy pasta and I added red fish. Cocktail drinks are great. All staff are great. 👍🏻 There is Lulu’s bar down stair which required reservations if u like to seat at the table, or else u can order and stand in front of the bar area.
